Three rounds of screening interviews with some interesting questions that intrigued me, a 45-min personality test (always fun!), then a 4-hour interview (2 hours of formal presentation to 5 people, followed by 1:1 interviews with the same audience during the second two hours), formal checking of references, and eventually a final interview.
Every stage was full of indirect questions, games, and tests to determine how you react “under pressure” with a heavy dose of fraternity energy and lots of critiques and analysis along the way. I got the sense I was the “wild card” in the mix which only reinforced the outsider vibe I was getting. I learned a few things about myself along the way, which I’m thankful for. Unfortunately, at some point in the process, they forgot (or didn’t care) that hiring is a two way street. I wasn’t offered the job, but by the end, I wasn’t interested - so it worked out as it was meant to. I wish them continued success. I’m sure they will find people who are a good match for the culture.
